I recently came back here as it's my favorite local pizzeria! I got the west coast wrap which is my go to, it was fresh, and the size is great for the price. The buffalo chicken slice was also great, and my brother loved the chicken roll. The service is also always friendly. The food is ready quickly and always hot! I definitely recommend. read more

Grandmaaaaaaaaaa! I can't stop singing that after trying my first piece of Grandma's Pie ever. I guess it's a style and I friggin' loved it. Now I'm seeing it everywhere. This was a convenient spot for lunch when working in the area, and this small pizza shop delivered on friendliness and flavor. I had a pepperoni slice and a grandma slice and enjoyed both. The staff was friendly and they had a lot of selections. I'd definitely go back to try more, but I'd have a hard time saying no to Grandma! Let me help you out if your chair, so you can make some more of that pizza! read more

All varieties of pizza are excellent as well as their rolls, wraps, and heroes. Italian entrees are delicious. Self-serving sitting area available; this place is primarily takeout so ambiance isn't restaurant level, but if you can't wait to get fed, it's more than adequate... read more

WORST PIZZA PLACE EVER!! They have a bunch of dumb kids running the place. NO ONE CARES no has bedside manner no has any kind of work ethic. My food is either cold or wrong every time i have ordered from them. If you ask to speak to the manager or someone in charge they just pass the phone around to the different kids that work there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more

Every single time we order from John Anthonys either the order is messed up, or it is hours late. Tonight, we figured we would try them one more time. Hour and a half later no food....tracker said order was to arrive between 8:10 and 8:20. Called at 9:05 and the restaurant was closed. Family of 5 now without dinner. Several other times where the food was hours late, we were just lied to over and over again when we called to get an update. Horrible business owners....like others have noted, no empathy for their horrible service....which is a shame because the food is decent. Never again. Don't waste your money here! read more

Note: I STILL do NOT have a cell phone and most likely won't get one. I don't like the invasion of my privacy that come with most popular cell phones, even if they "claim" not to share your info. "THEY" are always listening and tracking. I don't like that and will not use a cell phone. Why make it easier for the privacy invading spies? Therefore, I am unable to take/upload any photos. I've been coming here for a couple months now, on my way home from my chiropractor in Oceanside. I first came here due to a friend of a friend's recommendation but also because it does bear my 1st and middle name. I'm hooked! This pizza/restaurant is now in my top 5 in Nassau county. I'll go so far as to say this is my new #1 fav. pizza place! Price is average. Crust is excellent - just the right crunch for me. Excellent if not perfect blend of cheese and sauce and I've only been disappointed once out of the 6 or so times I've bought there. Ed, ( if I recall correctly) the pizza maker/chef is very cordial as has been anyone else working behind the counter. As for Ambiance, I'd not take a date here unless I had already taken her out a couple times. Food may be very good but romantic/classy, it's not. It's just a regular pizza place with a sit-down area in the back. There's about maybe 6-8 tables seating 4-6 per table IF I recall correctly. Their personal pie is just as good too. I get the personal grandma pie and have yet to be disappointed, but usually I get a couple slices and am very satisfied. As I said, cost is average, about $3.50/per slice and it's a good sized slice too. Many other pizza joints I visit seem to have cut down on the size of the slices as well as cheese/sauce. I can't stand it when i try a new place and their pizza is yummy but when I return again and again, the yummy-ness isn't enjoyed as previous visits. So far at JohnAnthony's pizza in Valley Stream, just a block or two South of the hospital ( Franklin General Hosp. as it was known years ago when I lived in Valley Stream - didn't notice if name has changed), I've been a happy pizza-eater. If only they delivered to Mineola/New Hyde Park area:) I suggest having a slice or 2 or more when you can. Small amount of Parking in the rear and at curb but well worth any perceived parking inconvenience. read more

We ordered 3 items. Regular pie, chicken roll and egglplant parm dinner. When we received the order instead of getting the chicken roll we received a spinach roll. I called, they said they would deliver the chicken roll but to return the spinach roll. This surprised me because anytime any delivery mistakes were made from anywhere else we've ordered they just replace the item as a courtesy. I told the owner that I already opened the bag and was confused as to why they would take back food that was touched by someone else. The owner said that the delivery driver gave me the wrong item and he would have to pay for it since he made the error. Me wondering if they took the spinach roll back would they put back on counter to sell? Or throw away? To sum up above their customer service is NOT good at all. As far as the food. Everything was very salty, especially the eggplant. My husband always finishes a dish and barely got through half of this dish. To Sum Up: Incorrect Order: Receiving a spinach roll instead of a chicken roll is a clear error on their part. Unusual Return Policy: Demanding the return of the opened spinach roll is unusual and raises hygiene concerns. Poor Customer Service: The owner's explanation, while acknowledging the driver's mistake, lacks empathy and doesn't prioritize customer satisfaction. Food Quality: The excessive saltiness of the food, particularly the eggplant parm, indicates a quality control issue. Final Note - I have stopped here on way home and got different items and continued to try to give them another try to stay with a local business, but after this particular order it will be my last. read more

Don't get the meatballs. Ordered takeout and the food was delivered cold. Meatballs were grayish in color.

I've honestly never met a pizza I wouldn't eat and some are better than others but when I took a bite of this pizza I honestly had a WOW moment. I just didn't expect it to be that good... And! I thought it was awesome reheated because we even froze the extra pizza we bought. This is definitely going to be our first choice from now on. read more

Not sure what happened but this place has gone down hill. I ordered 2 pizzas a margarita and meatlover. These look like home made pizzas and not the good kind. I make better homemade pizza. When I complained they said it was done the same as always. Must be new owners because seriously bad. read more

Great food, great prices and fast service! Highly recommended! The wings were amazing!

Fast, good and inexpensive. Great neighborhood pizza joint. We'll continue to support

I used to get pizza here when it was under another name. Since it's been under new ownership I've only had the white pizza, which is good. The first time I had it, it was piping hot from the oven and delicious! I also have had the garlic knots which seem to be varying degrees of garlic each time I've had them (my niece has brought them home twice). I like them when they have a lot of garlic and butter, not so much when they are dry. As to the ambiance, it is standard NY pizza place decorations. Not fancy, and better than before. I find their prices a bit high for the type of establishment, but haven't had some of those items to evaluate the worthiness of the cost. Also, I think it would generate more business if the specials weren't "Dine in" only. Not sure why that is, but it certainly has impacted my order because I like to eat in the comfort of my home. I look forward to trying other menu options and will update my review at that time. read more

There's no way to sugar coat the. John Anthony's in Valley Stream is a s***show. I recently ordered a couple of dinners from here after reading some reviews. First, I called to order, and the phone rang over twenty times before anyone picked up. After finally answering, it seemed that the phone was under water and it was hard to communicate with the person at the other end. Arriving at the restaurant, it was clear that the two young staff were frazzled. Five or six other customers were waiting around, and none looked happy, with one complaining to anyone within earshot about the length of time he had been waiting for his order. When I picked up the meals, I found that one was completely wrong. The other, a calamari dish, tasted like dried rubber bands, probably the worst calamari I have ever had. Not fresh at all. While the two meals were hardly edible, the pizza was good, even though it was not cut into slices for some reason. Check everything before you leave so that you avoid finding the mess when you get home. My advice is to go elsewhere. John Anthony's is not worth the trouble. read more

I ordered cauliflower pizza cause that's my favorite and a linguine pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage and it was delicious..my family always ordered food in this pizzeria because not only delicious but on time or earlier on the specified time . I recommend this place and try it!!! read more

This place has zero respect for delivery customers. Waited 2 hours for a pie with my kids complaining for dinner. Once I got through to the restaurant it seems they lost the order? Offered 30% but I would had to wait 30 mins more for it to be ready? What a joke. Figure out how to run your business better and realize you can't keep family's waiting that long for pizza. Ridiculous. read more

I just waited 2 hrs for a 2 item order. Grub hub called the restaurant and told me their response was the driver was out, was about 1 hr late, AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON!! ?? Who in their right mind owns a business and gives that kind of answer to a retail/restaurant customer?? That is so absurd,, that I am beyond mad,, bordering on laughable!! STAY FAR FAR AWAY !!! read more

A standout in the competitive Valley Stream Pizza Scene. Slices soo good they eat themselves. Completely overhauled with New Management since the Pizza Express days. Give the Margherita a shot. read more

Zero stars. I ordered through grubhub, 1.5 hours later and nothing delivered. I called the restaurant and they said "it's not my problem, call grubhub." No attempt to make it right, no attempt to problem solve. So many better options, I recommend going elsewhere. read more

Absolute garbage. Walked in and asked for a pepperoni slice to which I was rudely told there were no slices besides what was out. I ended up getting a chicken bacon ranch slice which tasted so stale and the dough tasted like cardboard. To top it off I got food poisoning and I've been vomiting for two days straight because of it. I wasn't the biggest fan of Pizza Express but this craphole really makes me miss what used to be there. Do not go. Save your money and save your stomach. read more

The older man at counter should realize he should retire, he is was grumpy & nasty. He was reluctant to understand my food allergy and procrastinated to accept my gluten free hamburger bun. The burger was over cooked & barely the size of a single five guys burger read more

Just tried John Anthony's Pizza Friday night. Pizza was delivered well under the Seamless time stated and it was delicious! This will be our new go to pizzeria from now on! read more

All though , the pizza was good not great could have been cooked more. The gorgonzola salad was just ok the cheese was extremely dry. And now for the price , we got a large pepperoni pizza , 2 orders of knots with cheese , and a salad , $42.00 seems a little high for me read more

So this place just opened up last week. This pizzeria was pizza express for years but unfortunately they closed. After two months of waiting John Anthony's finally opened. So of course we checked it out. The pizza was okay not the best but not the worst. The reason for only three stars is one they charge a little too much for okay pizza. I also work down the block, so the other day we all got together at work and ordered four pies now you would think four pies they'll need a lot of plates or a good amount at least but no four plates only! RIDICULOUS read more

I have been driving by this place for years and just realized they had a parking lot in the back which made it very convenient to stop. I ordered a pizza and found it to be scrumptiously delicious. Two weeks later, I ordered catering. All the food was made to perfection - the meatballs were tender, the lasagna was cheesy, and the antipasto and party hero had lots of cold cuts...and the pizza of course was delicious, as well as other dishes. Also, they give comp trays according to the size of your order. They definitely give you the best "bang for your buck". This is my new pizza spot! read more

Love this place. Anthony can't do enough to please you with garlic knots, frittatas, spinach pies and more. He recently Delian order all the way to Nickerson Beach cabanas! Pizza is always delicious and the salads are so fresh! read more

Person from the pizzeria called yelling at me saying the driver has been trying to make the delivery and no one is opening the door. I told him I've been at the door and no one has come up or rang the door bell (and I have a nest door bell). He continued to scold me that I didn't pick up the phone, the driver doesn't have a cell phone ..etc. the delivery guy came 5 mins later and turns out he went to the wrong address. He was nice however, and apologized for the man on the phone. read more

This place is under new management which is great They have really great food can't complain about that. But the only problem is that the last few times I have ordered from them they either forgot a order or sent me the wrong item. I think if they fix that then i am willing to make it 5 stars. Other then that they have really good pasta and pizza options and so much more. So I say if your looking for a new place to try and your in the area this is the place to go. read more

Absolutely delish!Great pasta and chicken specials. Try the chicken parm , bolognese, chicken roll, salad , and the vodka slice...all spectacular! read more

Placed an online order and waited an appropriate amount of time to go pick up. As I'm walking in the door I get a message that the order was cancelled. I speak to the man behind the counter who says "yeah it's cancelled, the machine's broken" and then continues about his business without asking what I'd ordered or if I want to wait while they make it. Really effing rude. The food looked and smelled great but needless to say I will never go back there, especially considering the number of pizza places in the area. You'd think they'd try a little harder to compete. I recommend staying away but if you really want to call, don't use the internet. read more

RIP OFF!! While the restaurant itself is very nice...everything else is lacking. One slice was over $4! But I paid more than $1 for each mozerella stickon the platter and what I got was a joke. These seemed liked microwavable crap that comes out of a box. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I went there for a pie and the service was great. The pizza is good. I was there with my kids and my daughter spilt her soda on the last 2 slices. The owner anthony came over and immediately replaced the 2 slices with no questions asked. Excellent service, nice guy. Would recommend. read more

Worst pizza I've ever had , got a regular pie and every slice was squished and the entire cheese came right off the slice when lifting it

I have to agree with one of the other posters. Their pizza is far being the best I've had, nor is it close to being the worst pizza that I have had. It was just ok. If you are starving it will hit the spot. I found the taste to be a little bland and the crust a little chewy. I like a little crunch to my crust, but that is a personal preference. I won't go back for pizza, but I will give their hot dishes a shot. Let's see how that goes. read more

Had their pizza two Friday's in a row! Yummy! We tried their garden salad with mozzarella too. It is was very large and full of fresh ingredients. Haven't eaten in the dinning area yet but their delivery was very quick. Can't wait for next Friday. read more
